Staff took care of issue that was nit created by them. Package was lost by UPS. Propel sent me another part Next Day Air to correct it. -
A Delay Handled the Right Way
Honestly, if I were in Miami like my shipment was, I wouldn?t have been in a hurry to ship out either. I was frustrated at first ? delays cost me time on the job ? but Propel Parts stepped up.
Deb, Daniel and the team owned the mistake, kept the communication clear, and graciously refunded my shipping costs without making it a hassle. That kind of accountability is rare these days, and I genuinely appreciated how they handled it.
Things don?t always go perfectly, but these folks proved they?re more interested in doing right by their customers than just pushing parts out the door. Solid company, solid people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Caterpillar 4B4311 rivet used?
The 4B4311 rivet is a fastening component used on various Caterpillar equipment assemblies to permanently join panels, liners, guards, and structural members. Rivets are preferred in applications where welding is impractical or where a permanent, vibration-resistant joint is needed without access to both sides of the panel.
What's the difference between the 4B4311 and the 6B1369 rivet?
These two rivets differ in dimensions such as diameter, shank length, head style, or grip range. Always use the exact part number specified for the application in your machine's parts manual to ensure the correct joint strength and flush-fitting profile.
How do I remove a damaged rivet without damaging the surrounding panel?
Use a center punch to mark the rivet head center, then drill through the head with a drill bit slightly smaller than the rivet body diameter. Once the head is removed, push the shank through with a punch. Take care not to over-drill and enlarge the hole, which could compromise the joint integrity.
Is this rivet reusable after removal?
No. Rivets are single-use fasteners. Once set and then removed, the material has deformed and cannot provide the same clamping force or shear resistance as a new rivet. Always install new rivets during any repair.
Can I use other rivet types as a substitute?
Substituting with a different rivet type or size is not recommended unless confirmed as acceptable by a qualified engineer or the Caterpillar service manual. Using the correct part ensures the joint meets the strength, corrosion resistance, and vibration requirements of the assembly. Browse our full hardware and fastener catalog to find the exact part you need.
What tools are required to install the 4B4311 rivet?
The installation method depends on the rivet type ??? solid rivets require a rivet hammer and bucking bar, while blind rivets need a rivet gun. Confirm the rivet type from the product listing and use the appropriate tooling for a properly set joint.
Does Propel Parts offer a warranty on this rivet?
Yes ??? all hardware and fastening components sold by Propel Parts are covered by a 1-year warranty against material defects. Same-day weekday shipping ensures you can get back to work quickly.
